Feeding Horses.

Contributor in ational Stockman.
have found out that the best method to keep
horses through the winter Is to feed them near
about the same amount of grain per day as in
summer, and feed three times a day, early in
the morning and late in the evening when the
days short, but do not feed them the one
kind of grain the whole winter There ought
to be change in feed every week or so at least.
If horses don't work every day good plan is to
feed once a day wet feed, such as ground corn.
oats or barley mixed with cut straw or hay; and
also let them have every week something green,
but only small quantity. I would recommend
turnips. beets, cabbage, potatoes. apples or any
thing green. 1t will give them good appe-
tite and will help to improve them
when they don't get enough exercise
4 little wood ashes is very good once in while
While you feed straw don't let them have bite
of hay; if you DO they won't eat the straw 1t is
not good plan to feed straw all winter, as in
the spring when they have to 20 to work they
can't stand it so well and are apt to get sick.
Most of the farmers have timothy and clover
hay and il is q very good plan to feed clover
after you quit the straw, but not as much as
they wonld eat until work commences in the
spring. and then feed them good timothy and as
much as they want to eat. When you commence
blowing If you have much of il to do, don't rush
your horses the first week, but go slow and you
will get through quicker. great many. when
they commence to pillow in the spring, rush their
horses and throw in double the amount of feed
because they have to work hard, and tho next
thing is to go for a horse doctor
Last spring year ago had on hand on old
farmers son. who raised on farm. When
he came told him how much to feed but. when
piowing commenced, he thought l did not feed
strong enough for the amount of work the
horses had to do, and. as could not be at home,
he commenced TO feed double the amount and III
three days plowed thirteen of limestone
ground with two teams. But about that time
| some of the horses commenced to get sick and |
nearly lost one, and had twenty five acres still
| to pillow, and | thought would never get it done,
| as the horses could not stand the work. There
| are more horses sick in the spring of the year
| than at any other season, and nine out of every
| ten cases are due to overlooking.

Fern Culture.
Weeks MAGAZINE.


Ferns are easily cultivated il few practical
details are observed Growing in their native
habitats they are, for the most part, found in
shady positions, where, during their growing
period, they have abundance of moisture 1T
their roots; therefore. under cultivation, shady
window is, for most kinds, more suitable than n
sunny one, and during their season of growth a
good supply of water at their roots is demanded
While it is necessary for their success to have
an abundance of water they are, at the same
time very impatient of a stagnant SOIL and to
prevent anything af the kind occurring perfect
drainage is Indispensable. Not only is drain
age necessity in the cultivation of
ferns, but it is also needed in
the culture of all kinds of window and green
house plants after they have attained certain
size No plants do l know, except aauatics
that succeed in a soil from which the water does
not pass off freely. Plants growing in pots six
inches in diameter and over, should have drain
age. This may be done by placing over the
hole in the bottom of the p1t a piece of broken
pot, over this place more of the same material
in small pieces instead of this pieces of charcoal

in this manner, and over the top place some
moss or other rough material to prevent the soil
from mixing with the drainage, and thereby
preventing the water from passing freely off
The most suitable soil for ferns is a mixture of
garden loan and the black soil found in the
woods, about equal parts Of each. then with a
good sprinkling of sharp sand through the whole.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Volume of Trade Reaching Quite Salts
factory Proportions in Most Departments

q.
Trade in the week closing to-day has shown de-
cided increase in volume that of any week since
early February when there was quite boom in trade
The better condition of the country roads permits the
travelling statesmen to move about more briskly and
goods can be delivered with pro1nptness. ard
this has improved business generally. Travelling
statesmen report the country merchants in excellent
spirits with the sprngk weather and the prospects
that the trade of the year is to be quite satisfactory
The steady, strong tone to prices of most articles
is one of the favorable features of the
trade, and creates o confidence among buyers
that is gratifying, and stocks of manufacturers
are not large tho probabilities that if there be
any change it will be in the way of higher prices
especially will this remark apply to dry goods
hardware and leather. It is gratifying to that
the -four market which has been under heavy cloud
for many months, shows signs of Improvement. as
this is important industry in the West. The Bos-
ton Journal says There have transpired two causes
the past week which have helped the position of -four
and done much to restore the waning confidence of
holders. They are, first the Improvement and ad-
in wheat at the West and the increased demand
from buyers of -four in the East. The latter cause
has been the one most talked about, and the to
suits. The fluctuations in the wheat market due to
the movements of spectators, not looked upon
h onr ana s te
como used to these periodical
spurts coming when least expected, that they do
not place much reliance in their ability to seriously
affect the market either way. The improvement in
the market has taken place in tone and demand
than in prices though some sellers report slight
gain of few cents per barrel on some lines.
The provision market closed strong and active and
dealers show great confidence in the future of the
market, and not pressing sales, and really the
present outlook promises wei. for handlers of hog
products. In the produce markets there is good
deal of activity but arrivals of poultry and but
ter daily increasing. and lower prices may be
looked for the early part of the week In other de-
par.ments there is nothing calling for special mention

The stock market today was again extremely dull,
and for the most part weak. There was consider
zble feverishness. and the trade subjected to
apasmodc periods of activity and stagnaton: The

West Point was again the chief dist arbing element
and that stock the only special feature of the
